National Loop Co. 34' (5' X 12') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 100' Lead-In for 17' Wide Driveways - X-NL17-18-100

Sized to match a specific driveway width, the National Loop Co. 34' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 100' Lead-In is a factory-wound 18 AWG loop for retrofit installations. Wired to compatible automated system, the loop counts as one of the two means of entrapment protection UL 325 requires for gate operators, detecting the metal of any vehicle over the sensing area so the gate stops or reverses before contact. Installation calls for sawing a 3/16" slot 1" deep into existing asphalt or concrete, laying the loop in the slot, and sealing it, with no hand-winding or turn counting required. With the 12' side crossing the lane and about 2' 6" of clearance per edge, and the 5' side capturing vehicles in the direction of travel, the layout fits 2-car drives in newer subdivisions and homes with boat or trailer parking.

Features:

• One continuous, non-spliced Polypropylene-insulated wire runs through the loop turns and lead-in, eliminating splice failures
• Factory-set turn count means optimal read range without any on-site adjustment
• Precisely stacked wires let loop sealant fully encapsulate the loop for lasting weather protection
• Cuts down on faulty detection calls and repeat service trips thanks to consistent machine winding
• More cost-effective than hand-wound loop installations
• Fills the non-contact detection role UL 325 assigns to vehicle loops in a 2-device entrapment protection system
• Designed for vehicle detection with gate operators, parking barrier gates, overhead doors, traffic signals, arming devices, and vehicle counters
